Rant: Problems With Media Temple Hosting

26th April 2008 By 3 Comments

I have hosted this blog on Media Temple after a glowing review by some other people. It is now clear that for the last two or more weeks, the web site is often not available as they are having storage problems. It works some of the time and not at others. Some pages are taking minutes to lad.

I will be moving the site as soon as I can to a more reliable provider. I can’t be more negative about Media Temple without using profane language. How can you possibly accept days of intermittent problems!

    You might try NearlyFreeSpeech.net. They are both inexpensive and reliable in my experience.

      And still not happy.

      They gave me an upgrade which is much appreciated, but the time needed to migrate is way too hard. SO I’m living with the problems for now, and waiting for a friend to recommend a better company for wordpress hosting. The biggest problem is that MT enforces a user permissions model that is incompatible with WordPress. And won’t support this change to help configure around it.
